The beginning of the pandemic was difficult for me as well.
I was fired from the store where I worked. I worked in that place for 7 years and all these years they talked to us about loyalty as long as they needed us to work overtime, but when the pandemic came and sales dropped, the loyalty ended as well. They fired us mercilessly.
I was unemployed for 2 months, living on my wife's salary.
Looking online for ways to earn money from home, I came across articles on how to open a business. I did an analysis of the businesses that are in the small town where I live and I understood that we don't really have bakeries in the area, and I am passionate about making cakes at home.
In this way, I started to advertise the cakes I made for the family, so that later I ended up making cakes for various local events (especially weddings and birthdays).
A year ago I leased a space in the center of the town which I transformed into a bakery cafe.
The entire process of opening a bakery was described by my wife in
this article. It might be useful to someone who has the same passion.
